Speaking on the occasion, Prof. Chopra said, “at AIFMP I will see more importance given to the micro- and small printers, my mission is to take AIFMP at par with the best at international level, and government recognition for printing and packaging industry. Printing is the basic necessity of mankind and is the biggest invention till date, but it is seen that no recognition is given to this key industry by the government of India. There is no department or ministry for printing in India and I would like to work for the proper identification of this industry in government, private and social circles at the same time I would like to establish complete networking with the printers and allied associations of the country.”
